Edit, more news became available last night, we will share when we get everything sorted. Stay tuned for a live video later today.

The Governor held his press conference about re-opening of FL. He is planning on doing it in phases, so right now starting Monday May 4th restaurants can re-open at 25% capacity inside and outdoor seating with the distancing guidelines in place. When I hear of which of our local restaurants will re-open or be available, I will do a list. He didn't mention vacation rentals, his original order expires tomorrow, so to me that means it expires and we are good to open up rentals. Since Venture Out is a resort, we were on the exception list anyway. We are very proud of our state and of the way the Governor has taken a lot of steps to keep everyone safe, we are also very proud of how he has been so dedicated to protecting the elderly. The City council meets tomorrow and they are the ones that determine what happens about the beach. I will be watching and will post here as soon as I know what they say. We are excited to see you all very soon! www vovpcb com 850 230 0676 ... See more

So keep watching and we will keep you informed.

Happy Monday, we are still waiting on information from the Governor. As soon as he makes an announcement or change we will post it here. In the meantime, Mark, Terry, my husband Rob and I (Rika) got out this weekend and did a little “jeeping”. There is a lot of great places around us to explore and see. Some within a few minutes drive and others an hour or more drive. Here are a few pictures from the weekend, I hope you enjoy them. Let us know if you have a Jeep! ... See more

The Panama City Beach City Council met this morning and voted to open their beaches in a limited capacity.

Their hours are in line with those voted on by the Bay County Board of County Commissioners Tuesday.

Please limit groups to no more than 10 people and follow social distancing guidelines.

There are no limitations to activities or to what people can bring to the beach. In accordance with Governor DeSantis' executive order, vendors are considered non-essential and are not allowed to operate on the beaches.

Good afternoon, just a quick update, I hope to have more information tomorrow.

The PCB city council met this morning and have voted to open the city beaches the same hours and the same restrictions as the county. SO the beach is open from 6am to 9am and from 5pm to 8pm. The Venture Out amenities are opening back up tomorrow as well, with the social distance guidelines in effect. (no groups of more than 10 people and keep 6 feet between groups).

We are still not allowed vacation rentals other than RV lots until May 1st. AS OF NOW, this could change so please keep following us here for the latest information.

We miss you all! We'll let you know as soon as we know when rentals will reopen. Hang in there, that beach trip can still happen, just not yet. ... See more

Venture Out is in unincorporated Bay County, so this should include us. The City Council meets Thursday. We feel that they will follow suit. The Governor has assembled a task force for "Reopening Florida" and they met yesterday for the first time, he hope to have results by Friday, if not sooner. I will keep a watch and will get back to everyone. As soon as I know, you will know! Take care and stay safe,
